As far as Derek is concerned, Beth could sit on her ass and look pretty for the rest of their lives and he would be just as happy as he is when she's doing her part. He really never asks her help unless he needs it, but he never rebukes her when she offers. Derek doesn't want her to feel like she's under-appreciated. But just being there, that's enough for Derek. Knowing that she loves him is more than enough to keep him happy.
"Sounds like a plan," he agrees, watching her fondly as she scurries up out of the water to dry off. Derek slips beneath the surface of the water to wet his hair and comes back up shaking the excess water out of it before rubbing the soap over his head to start a lather. It's easier for Derek with his shorter hair.
He gives his girlfriend a smile when he sees her watching him. "I haven't smelled a walker in like two days…" he realizes aloud. "Maybe we finally found the sweet spot."
